Greenpeace has labelled an overnight announcement by fishing company Sanford as a danger to M\u0101ui and Hector\u2019s dolphins, and is calling on the Government to reject the \u2018Sanford Plan\u2019 immediately.<\/p>\n

Greenpeace oceans campaigner, Jessica Desmond, says the plan relies on complicated and unproven methods for preventing dolphin deaths, and is at odds with a precautionary approach that\u2019s essential for the protection of the critically endangered dolphins.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re living through the world\u2019s sixth mass extinction. M\u0101ui and Hector\u2019s are right there at the top of the threatened lists,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo give them any chance of survival as a species, action to protect them must take a precautionary approach, and it must be decisive and comprehensive. The proposal put forward today by Sanfords is none of these.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are down to the last 60 individuals of a species, you need to act on the basis of the precautionary principle and use protective measures that have been proven to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desmond says there are a wide range of measures that must be adopted if there is any chance of saving the dolphins.<\/p>\n

This includes a ban on net fishing and only allowing dolphin-safe fishing methods in the full M\u0101ui and Hector’s habitat range; the immediate implementation of electronic VMS on all commercial vessels and cameras on boats; an extension of the Marine Mammal Sanctuaries out to the 100 metre depth contour to prohibit any seabed mining, seismic surveys and oil and gas exploration and drilling there; and the development of a plan to support the transition of affected fishers.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, along with World Animal Protection, Greenpeace presented a 55,000 strong petition and over 5,000 submissions to Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage supporting a ban on set net fishing, seabed mining and oil drilling, and a stop to seismic testing.<\/p>\n
